Shane reviewed Zelda for EGM? According to 1up Yours, he's only in the second or third dungeon as of this past Friday. I can't imagine he saw much of the game at all in time to make this print deadline. Or is there another Shane?

It was better than MK64...but MK64 was a piece of shit. I played a lot of DKR time trial to unlock TT but the game isn't a classic by any means. The idea of Rare doing a kart game, again, based on Viva Pinata, is painful.

If Rare is going to make a kart racing game, which they would be stupid not to, I doubt it would just be Viva Pinata kart racing. They have a pretty extensive list of original characters. Use Conker, some fuzzy cute versions of KI characters, Banjo, the Pinatas, Kameo, Dark, anything else I may be missing. It would be a lot more interesting.

The Wiisports score is low enough that it makes the rest of thier scores seem farcical.

EGM just did themselves is. Most fun I've had with a game in YEARS. I dont pay attention to scores, but thats just assinine.

I got Madden 07 for the Wii and I disagree with the scores entirely. The controls are very intuitive and the game has all the features the X360 version is sorely missing. Gameplay wise, it is a refreshing Madden and will probably hold me over for quite some time.

Hopefully not. I do not see anything wrong with whoring out characters that really should not be taken that seriously to begin with, but you do not want to turn your big more serious franchises into a joke.
